Abstract: A method for providing a matrix material between a bonded pair of substrates with a homogeneous distribution of anisotropic filler particles is provided. Functionalized anisotropic filler particles are mixed uniformly with a matrix material to form a homogenous mixture. A bonded assembly of a first substrate and a second substrate with an array of electrical interconnect structures is placed within a vacuum environment. The homogenous mixture of the matrix material and the anisotropic filler particles is dispensed around the array of electrical interconnect structures. A gas is abruptly introduced into the vacuum environment to induce an implosion of the homogenous mixture. The implosion causes the homogenous mixture to fill the cavity between the first and second substrates without causing agglomeration of the anisotropic filler particles. The mixture filling the space between the first and second substrates has a homogenous distribution of the anisotropic filler particles.

Abstract: A transfer process for bonding a solderable device to a solderable firsl substrate having a first oxidized surface comprises placing the solderable device proximate to the first substrate in a reducing chamber, where the first surface cannot be visually observed. We place a second substrate having a second oxidized surface in the chamber in a way to visually observe the second surface. Selecting the first substrate and the second substrate so that the reduction of the second surface correlates with the reduction of the first surface provides an indication of the degree of reduction of the first surface. Introducing a reducing agent into the chamber under reducing conditions reduces the surfaces which we track by irradiating and observing the second surface; evaluate any change in the second surface during irradiation and correlate the change with first surface reduction. When sufficiently reduced, we solder the first substrate to the device.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing for and classifying defects in a TFT/LCD array having gate lines and data lines. Devices are provided for activating cells of the array by applying gate pulses to the gate lines and pulses to the data lines. Devices are also provided for acquiring waveforms from data lines of the array. Additional devices sample the waveforms at selected points in time. A computer may be used to classify the waveforms to indicate whether defects are present and if present, the nature of the defects by comparing voltages of the waveform at the selected points in time.
